No need to thank me, its just my observation and understanding. I am in no disagreement worth getting into argument over, I was simply voicing my opinion. What would serve you better? That's up to you I think. Just because I think one thing doesn't mean you should abandon what you want to do...

To me your light seems to close. Looks like you have good head room and short plants, back the light up to around 1 foot. If your top growth is all good then don't worry to much, you will be able to save them no problem most of the time. Your plants are not likely to die but growth will be...

Ouch! I see it is a big problem for sure, sorry for your troubles! You also must understand that with some nutrient issues the damage will continue even after getting the problem figured out. Magnesium related issues along with others will cause a domino effect of issues if the starting issue is...

I personally have never weighed the pros and cons of watering at night. I have however gone through periods where I watered during lights out due to having a f-ed up schedule that was hard for me to get to the plants while the lights were on. I speculate that the advantages of watering in...

Oldow... Just to be clear, I never said I don't see the value in back-crossing when it comes to the cannabis seed industry. I see and understand its values. My stance is based on preservation and proper generational breeding. Back-crossing causes issues that are not ideal when it comes to...

Hey I'm all for getting along. On with the show, that is why I'm here. :)

That is good to know! You know, honestly I have been tossing around the idea of switching to magnetic from digital. Ive had plenty of digital ballasts take craps on me and there really isn't much you can do about it. Magnetic ballasts have been around for ages and are still used today, makes me...

How are your plants looking today lxrsd? Have you been letting them dry out? ^^ I personally would recommend adding dolomite lime to you water and bubbling/aerating it a day or so prior to use, as apposed to top dressing. Dolomite can have adverse effects if it isn't assimilated into your...

pH meters will often read very low when the medium is highly saturated with water. Part of a particular mediums pH control and balance(indoors mainly) is owed greatly to the soil drying out in between watering. That is one reason it is important not to over water or water to frequently(in most...

Thanks Aeroknow, much appreciated! :)

My feelings are not hurt. There is a difference between arguing and healthy discussion. I am always open to other opinions, thoughts, methods etc, which is why I ask questions and post my opinion in detail. Seems to me like you are speaking in defense of yourself, as if I was attacking you...

Ive always wanted to get a light meter just to play with and see where the numbers stand. Anyone have one they could recommend? Id like to get a cheap one just for fun, who knows, maybe there are some practical uses for them, like ya'll just said, checking your bulbs for intensity and such could...

How and where did I contradict myself? PLEASE point that out, I seemed to have missed it. I sure did not miss where you just chased your own tail though. Please point out where I said that pruning 10 days prior to flower does not shock the plant? Please, point that out to me. I seemed to have...

I don't agree. Distance is a great way to measure how far away to place your lights. I agree that using your hand is a very effective method of judging when it is to hot and what is acceptable. I do this always, daily, every grower should practice this no doubt. If its uncomfortable for me, its...

Wow. I have no time for ignorance or people who fail to understand what I'm talking about, for those who don't understand and would like to learn, I'm all ears, as for you, just butt out please. Dude who started the thread seems to agree with me somewhat so maybe you should just chill out, smoke...
